Patient's question:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a newborn was performed at 4 days. The MRI revealed abnormal white matter signals in both the frontal lobes and occipital lobes of the infant. On T1-weighted images, the signals appeared low, while on T2-weighted images, they appeared high. The size and shape of the ventricular system showed no significant abnormalities, and the midline structures were shifted to the left.History of treatment and outcomes: How severe is it? What should be done about the "death sentence"? What should be paid attention to in the future?
Desired support: How severe is it? What should be done about the "death sentence"? What should be paid attention to in the future?
Doctor's answer:
First, I don't know why your baby needs an MRI examination. Do you have any clinical symptoms of discomfort? Based on the examination results you purchased, there are abnormalities. Generally, abnormal signals in white matter suggest two conditions: one is encephalitis, and the other is leukodystrophy, which is a disease related to the immune system.Advice: Please combine clinical symptoms, such as whether your baby has a fever, choking, irritability, etc. It is recommended to consult with the pediatric neurology department at a children's hospital for a follow-up examination.
